RHESSI telescope decommissioned
After more than 16 years of successful operations since its launch in 2002, the X-ray space telescope RHESSI will be decommissioned on October 1, 2018. The on-board receiver has been slowly degrading since 2017, and commanding from the ground has become increasingly difficult. We have not been able to send commands successfully since mid-July 2018.
